In Summary….
IE 8 is having a small setback (YEAH!)
IE 6 and IE 7 are Down as expected from last month.
Firefox remains Steady and is continuing it’s growth assault on the industry as the #1 Browser.
Chrome is up and the trend continues what we saw in 2009. What is interesting is that it is growing monthly by almost a full 1 percent. Which is quite a bit of usage if you think about the entire world on the internet.
Both Safari (yuck) and Opera remain low and are likely on their way out in the next couple years.
Overall Firefox is the most widely used browser on the Market today beating out all Versions of IE Combined by an amazing 14.7%, up 11.2% in only 2 months (from February Browser Reports)

I cannot tell you how many times computer and IT people tell me that Firefox is so much better than IE. Rest assured I have my own opinions about both, however when the computer repair folks are jamming Firefox down your throat, it eventually becomes offensive. The sad news is that for so long they were right. With such great accolades from self professed “geeks” comes fame, and with fame comes vulnerability. Hackers love to make a mockery out of websites and software that claim they are superior and Firefox is no exception.
Bit 9, the leader in application white listing(as they call themselves) has issued their “Dirty Dozen” for 2008. In a press release entitled “Threats in Plain Sight: Bit9 Identifies ‘The Dirty Dozen’ – 2008’s Most Popular Applications with Critical Security Vulnerabilities” they identify the 12 applications that have issues and Firefox is NUMBER 1! Welcome to the big time Firefox. You asked for the attention, your followers supported you through and through and now the hacker world is coming after you.
Maybe it’s time that our computer friends keep in mind that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
